- You looked too alluring just now.
Bree turned to see chef Leo with a large smile on his face. She believed that his smile was really silly, but also really beautiful that it made her smile back at him. She came to her senses when she heard him say:
- Signorina Bree. If I look like a piece a cake to you, feel free to have a taste anytime you want.
Chef Leo only wanted to tease her, when he heard her say:
- Sure, why not. Said Bree as she grabbed him by the clothes, pressed him down the table behind their back and started kissing him. Instead of questioning herself why she was doing this, Bree depend the kiss. She had plenty of time thinking later. Just as things began to become hotter between them, they heard someone coughing. It was Irene who saw them kissing and said to them:
- You better stop kissing, and start finishing my cake, the party is in two hours.
They went on with their kissing, not even bother with what Irene said. Seeing them like that. Irene turned and left as she was saying:
- Bree, I'll send your brother in, if when I'll come back in ten minutes you still haven't started with my cake.
After five more minutes, they finally stopped kissing, so when Irene came back to check on them, she saw them working on her cake. She left with a smile on her face thinking it was a good thing they stopped playing. But as soon as Irene was gone, they started kissing again. They only stopped when the wall clock announced it was four o'clock. They had only half an hour to finish the cake, and the other half an hour to go chance their clothes.
- I guess I'll see you at the party, chef Leo. Bree said as she was washing the remaining utensils.
- I'm sorry Bree, I have two interviews that I have to go. They where scheduled from a month ago. But I'll hurry back after, I want to attend the rest of the party with you.
- Okay. But if you don't make it, I'll have to punish you.
- Oh. It's that so? Then I can hardly wait for your punishing later. Chef Leo said as he embraced Bree and planted a small kiss on her lips.
Bree wasn't satisfied with that small kiss, so she made the same move that chef Leo made when he kissed her for the first time, and gave him a kiss that he would keep thinking about, she didn't want him to pay any attention to the reporter if the reporter was a woman. Then, an idea came to her mind, she gave him a hickey, in a place when everyone can see it. " I must be out of my mind" thought Bree.
- Bree, if you don't stop now, I'll promise that i won't let you escape with just a few hickeys.
- Okay, okay. I'll behave... for now...
- Good. Said chef Leo with a grin on his face.
- See you later, Bree. Don't forget to miss me.
- I won't. See you later, Leo.
Chef Leo, didn't heard her calling him Leo, instead of chef Leo as he as already left. If he had heard her, he would turned around, picked her up and wouldn't let her attend the party, he would also forget about the interviews he had.

Irene was in Bree's room getting ready. She choose a burgundy dress, while Bree choose a black dress. They both give each other thumbs up as they walked outside the room. Bree went first to the tent, and waited for Irene to make her grand entrance. Irene walked gracefully inside the tent, smiled at everyone, but her biggest smile she gave it to James when their eyes meet.
- Irene, you're the most beautiful one at this party.
- Well, thank you, James. But I think someone else is more beautiful than me.
- Who?
- You.
- Now, now, you two. Leave the flirting after the party.
- Yes, mom. Both Irene and James said at the same time smiling at Bree.
Irene took the microphone from Lance's hand and said:
- Thank you all for coming to my birthday. So what are we all waiting for? Let the party begin.
As Irene guests cheered for her, Bree saw Jack with his fiancee coming in.
- Don't let him ruin the party for you. Whispered Lance in her ear. Pretend that he isn't here, even if it's hard for you.
- Thank you, Lance. Can you bring me something to drink?
- Sure.
After a while, Bree heard someone coming closer. She thought it was Lance with her drink. But when she turned around she saw that it was Jack who came.
- What do you want Jack? Go back to your fiancee.
- I want to know what's between you and chef Leo.
- That's not your business. Said Lance as he handed to Bree her drink.
- My, my. Bree. First chef Leo, now Lance. Who is gonna to be next?
- What's your problem? Shouldn't you take care of your fiancee, instead of picking up on Bree.
- Why do you care? I would understand if you were in love with her, but since I saw you flirting with those girls a while ago, I don't think you are.
- Who do you think you are? Even if Lance is flirting with other girls he doesn't lead them on like you do. He's a better man that you'll ever be Jack. Said Irene as she punched her brother in the face.
- Irene. Why did you do that? I'm your brother.
- This is how you promised to behave? By bothering my BFF? You don't deserve to be my brother. If you don't behave from now on, feel free to leave my party, and take your fiancee with you as well.
- Fine. I promise I won't make anymore problems, but please sister don't turn your back on me. Just let me stay.
- Okay. But at the first misconduct you'll leave. Let's go back to the party.
***
- I'm sorry, Irene.
- What for? Because I punched my brother for you? I was itching to do that for a long time now.
- Thank you, Irene. Said Bree as she gave a hug to her.
- Now, go to James. That brother of mine is probably bored without you.
- I guess you're right. Irene said with a sweet smile on her face as she was thinking about James.
- Are you sure you're gonna be alright?
- Don't worry. I have Lance with me. Go have fun.
Without waiting for Lance to come back, since he had to go make a phone call, Bree went to her favorite spot in the garden and sat down on the swing.
